if anyone else had done this then yes probably it's reasonable feature done reasonably. The problem is Apple has spent tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars advertising that they don't do things like this. That stuff stays on your iPhone unlike that other OS run by yucky advertising company. Apple would never siphon your data, because they care and you aren't the product.

Shit like this, reasonable in isolation or not, undermines that story completely. If they are so willing to just outright lie on a massive billboard, what else will they do when profits demand it?
They didn’t want to make a breaking change but didn’t:

1. Use UUIDv7, which has the same sortability without breaking the ID format, or

2. Repackage the ULIDs to maintain consistency

And then broke pagination with this change?

How was this ever approved by a change control board? Or do they not have one?

RIP Martyn. Thank you so much for creating Worms. Decades ago, I got a demo of the game on a magazine CD-ROM. At first, I hated it because there was no documentation, and I kept blowing myself up. However, a couple of years later, I gave it another shot and absolutely fell in love with it. I still play it with my son to this day!

Thank you, Team-17, for making such a timeless game that continues to bring joy to generations.

This whole thing is reminding me of the outrage over Apple and Google's privacy preserving 'Exposure Notification System' system from the Covid years. It defies intuition that they can alert you to exposure without also tracking you, but indeed that's what the technology lets you do.

Similarly here, it feels like the author is leaning into a knee jerk reaction about invasion of privacy without really trying to evaluate the effectiveness of the technologies here (client side vectorization, differential privacy, OHTTP relays, and homomorphic encryption).

Though I 100% agree Apple should ask the user for consent first for a feature like this.
> This is probably done to compete with Google Photos which has a great photo search by word feature.

Apple Photos is already capable of searching your photos by word/content fully offline on-device.

Google Photos is unable to search your photos by word/content fully offline on-device. Hell, it can't even search by file name if you don't sync your photos to the cloud!

I don't think Apple has to worry about Google at all.

Likely a bit more. Also there is maintainance, the extra weight, the extra cost of buying more waggons .. but still I agree, thay this should be the direction.

Still, a 5 mile train will have problems at most train station ..

As a general principle, I think computers should execute commands that users issue, and then wait for the next command. That's it.

Computers should not be sneakily doing things in the background without my commanding them to do so. But if they insist that the only way they can work is by doing things in the background, then I expect the computer to at the very least obtain my consent before doing those things. And computers should definitely not be exfiltrating anything over to the network without my explicit command to do so. This shit world we are living in where your computer just does whatever the application developer wants it to do rather than what the user wants it to do has to come to an end!
In most places, even with strong labour laws, you can layoff people for any reason in the first 30/60/90 days. And, the US has extremely weak labour laws. Usually, a month of severance for each year of service is customary, but probably not strictly required.
Ask HN: Is a Dignified Layoff Possible?
I was reflecting on the tough job market and feeling bad for all the folks experiencing a layoff - not to mention worrying what may be in my own future given industry trends.

Having gone through a few myself and also having had to lay people off made me wonder yet again how best to minimize the pain.

I remember laying off a senior developer when I was in my early 30's and a new manager. I was up the entire night before worrying and threw up on my way to the office. He was a pro though and not his first rodeo and his quiet dignity always stuck with me. He immediately moved on to the concrete details of severance, insurance, reference, etc.

Maybe that's the best we can do?

You’re missing a thing called regulatory capture.

1) no one will invest in new charging technology because it’s an uphill battle to be approved

2) entrenched charger organizations with political connections will resist change. Their existence depends on it. You will only see change as they use regulations to starve upstarts and acquire their tech Pennie’s on the dollar.

But the good news is Europe invents almost nothing today so they can just have a friendly debate on which American or Asian tech to standardize on.
No, IBM's estimate is for a single user. IBM figures that a typical spreadsheet user does 5000 divides per second when recalculating and does 15 minutes of recalculating a day. IBM also figures that the numbers people use are 90 times as likely to cause an error as Intel's uniformly-distributed numbers. The result is one user will have an error every 24 days.

I'm also griping that "the data is encrypted !" is not a good enough excuse seeing as how we've known for years that the metadata is a bigger pot of gold for intelligence agencies. That my mac address is taking a photo and hitting a particular cell tower is pretty detailed information, even without knowing the content of the photo.
Of course people believe this, they were raised on the hundreds of movies and netflix series where this is a common plotline. Most of our worldviews are heavily influenced by the fantasies of unchecked elite power systems above law enforcement and an unlimited pool of elite criminals for hire.

IRL companies barely release public statements without consulting lawyers for fear of minor risk and any criminal willing to do murder-for-hire is likely to be unstable, sloppy, have a history of crime and likely to get arrested in the future, and/or blackmail the company the second they fall on hard times.

Saying "Taiwan is in fact occupied by China" is at best a gross misrepresentation. It's like saying "North America is in fact occupied by Europe now [...] for North America to be free, in any proper sense, the European occupiers must leave." Well, maybe, from a certain point of view? But kind of pointless in terms of a realistic path forward.

We are not talking about remaking history here. We are talking about the present and the future of Taiwan. Its population and culture are what they are now.

Chiang Kai-shek's move to Taiwan and subsequent rule was indeed at times brutal, and the immigration massive in relative terms. But that move took place in the 1950s, and since that time amends have been made. You will see monuments and remembrance days related to those events. Taiwan is now a thriving (if at times feisty) democracy where minorities are protected.

During my last trip to Taiwan, I revisited the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.[1] What struck me is the museum underneath. Here, for all to contemplate, is a documentation of Chiang Kai-shek's life and rule. The striking part is that the errors and brutality of his rule are also well-documented and preserved, officially accessible to all. Try to find anything like this kind of recognition of past mistakes in mainland China (hint: you won't find it).

It’s likely that your wall-wart doesn’t provide enough watts to fully charge your iPad mini, and/or that there’s some reason the USB-A side of that cable isn’t adequate for what the iPad mini needs.

If you want to test, consider trying with a non-Apple wall-wart for which the rated wattage is equal to or greater than the one which Apple provides with your iPad mini and which uses a USB-C connection rather than a USB-A one. If it comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, use that, otherwise get one that supports USB-C PD and enough watts to match the iPad mini’s needs.
The change was decided by the French president, Emmanuel Macron. The windows were dirty with the fumes but not damaged at all. But he wanted to add some modern art to the monument.

If he manages to leave his own mark on Notre-Dame, the next president could do the same, and the windows won't stay long enough to become historical items.
I appreciate Yossi's plain honesty in this article, and it's a fun and interesting read; I've read it before.

I can relate to, but not endorse, designing a CPU and dialect for an interesting language you've never properly used. This turned out to be very painful, and Yossi argues convincingly that it is essentially not practical to use Forth at all, debating Jeff Fox's position. However, there is some evidence[1] that Forth actually might be practical, and it certainly seemed to have a niche in the 80's.

Yossi made some errors I've seen among new Forth programmers. A lot of people, before writing real programs, think Forth is like lisp from another universe. They visualise Forth primarily as a sort-of functional, concatenative, highly refactor-focused language. They likewise tend to throw out all the normal Forth defining words and use Forth as 'lisp without parentheses'. They try and put all their data on the stack, 'point-free', rather than using variables. And often their projects eventually devolve into C envy, every line with stack comments and equivalent C code to help, as shown in the article.

But go look at real, working, classic Forth code, of which there is much, and you'll see that there is a prevailing style that's easy to read and not actually that 'smart', or 'academic'. No more than 1-2 stack items need to be mentally 'juggled' for 99% of code, lots of variables and buffers are used whenever it's easier. Yes the classic variables are 'global', but it doesn't matter if the relevant code isn't recursing or touched in interrupts, and is only used by a cluster of related words. Newer Forths do have local variables, in spite of Jeff Fox's disapproval!

The classic code I'm talking about matches what I think Jeff Fox is trying to coerce you towards. Ultimately I disagree with Yossi's views because I think if he had actually tried to implement what Jeff Fox proposes, and got some practice first on a more realistic project, he would have had a much better shot. It's impressive how well the project turned out in spite of the approach, and how Yossi wrote a backend for his architecture in a week: a testament to both his skills and LLVM's design; but it's worth reflecting as engineers how arrogant (yet relatable) it is to make a CPU and compiler for a language you've never properly used.

Speaking from the point of view of an interviewee rather than an interviewer... I would pay for flying out to someplace for an in-person interview on my own dime, if I thought I would get a reasonable return on investment.

If the interviewer _expected_ that I would pay for a cross-country (or cross-border) flight myself, that would cast a shadow on the opportunity for me.

I didn't read it that way at all. It felt to me like the author thought video stores were terrible too, just in a different way, and the main point of the article was the different incentive structures for the pre-streaming movie companies (high ticket sales and people watching the entire movie without distractions) vs Netflix (recurring monthly revenue from people who are just satisifed enough not to cancel their subscription). They're both focused on numbers, but the meanings of those numbers are very different. (I'm not sure I entirely agree with that - I think the pre-streaming movie companies were hyper-focused on the bottom line too - but I think that's what the article was trying to say).

So what? Why should the application talk over the Internet to begin with? And why isn't that functionality off by default under a settings option that clearly warns the user of the consequences? I think you're missing the forest for the trees here.

And the claims that this is good privacy/security are not at all obvious either. And who are those third-parties anyway? Did you verify each one of them?
The opinion that Forth doesn't climb the abstraction ladder well is popular, but I'd be tempted to qualify it as a misconception.

My own attempt[1] at a Forth that climbs that ladder is, I think, a good counter example. In my opinion, its HAL compares favorably to, for example, SBCL's native code compiler. Its almost-C compiler compares favorably to, I think, Tiny CC.

This misconception stems, I think, from the fact that you can very well reap the rewards of Forth in a low level environment without needing to "think in Forth". For example, by mastering immediate mechanics.

Someone who hasn't invested the effort to twist their mind to Forth-think will, yes, end up having troubles climbing the abstraction ladder.

This is not unlike, I think, "macro heavy" lisp, which many lispers actively avoid. But at the same time, much of lisp's power comes from it.

In this way, they're very much like LLMs, and many of the arguments against LLMs trained on copyrighted material apply just as much to public libraries. Oh the irony.
Trump sides with Musk on support for H-1B visas for foreign tech workers
I already own one of those fiber-hdmi cables. Brilliant, but sometimes doesn't interoperate with DVI devices using passive DVI -> HDMI adapters. I've no idea if it has any copper conductors for HDMI power, though one end is labelled for the source and one for the display, suggesting that however it's designed it's not bi-directional.

I'd love a DisplayPort KVM, but not every device that comes across my bench has a DisplayPort output, and those few that have DisplayPort but no HDMI can be accommodated with one of those commodity DisplayPort -> HDMI adapters. This situation is actually getting worse over time, not better, as many modern devices and laptops are skipping DisplayPort in favor of USB-c alt-mode.

This issue has actually been going on through a monitor change on my testbench. It has happened with a Samsung SyncMaster 204T though my KVM switch, an HP ZR24w through my KVM switch, and the ZR24w directly connected. I don't think this is an issue with the rest of my equipment.

This electrical was done about 15 years ago, by a ticketed electrician. One of those $5 plug testers indicates all is well, and I have no reason to believe there's any issue here.

By almost pure coincidence, I have an MSI PRO X870-P motherboard on order. I'm looking forward to seeing if this same 3V3 leakage issue is present on this board too.
